iBKH-based Link Prediction

This module enables link prediction in iBKH, i.e., predicting entities that potentially link to the target entity (input).


Method detail


  • Step I. Knowledge graph embedding. We use the Deep Graph Library - Knowledge Embedding (DGL-KE) (https://github.com/awslabs/dgl-ke) [1], a Python-based implementation for the advanced KGE algorithms, such as TransE [2], TransR [3], ComplEx [4], and DistMult [5].
  • Step II. Link prediction based on the learned embedding vectors of entities and relations.



Usage:

  • Specify the Entity Type and Entity Name of the target entity of interest (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease entity [Entity Type = Disease, Entity Name = Alzheimer’s disease ]) in the left sidebar.
  • Click Submit to run inference.


It will return lists of drugs, genes, symptoms, and pathways which are most likely to link to the target entity. Such procedure may take minutes.
